There were a lot of great suggestions for add-ins to your burger mix on today's show. Don't forget experimenting with some ingredients that add a kick without a ton of spicy heat! Ginger and Garlic are great additions, and then welcome herbs such as basil, lemongrass, and thyme. Or, mix in a small dice of summer squash like zucchini to keep your patties moist. One caller even uses green onion tops in his mix. Just remember, if it smells good together, chances are it's going to taste good together!]]>

Grilling greens is a cool way to give your salads a new appeal. Use the core and stems to keep bunches in tact, but slice through them so they lay flat on the grill. Brush with a little olive oil and grill over high heat for just a few minutes to get a nice char on the outside. Dress with a good garlicky Caesar dressing. This is also outstanding if you serve with some grill roasted tomatoes, too!]]>

Jim's recipe is great! Here's what we talked about adding on the show: Use the 2 beef patties and put the cheese between the two, then use a combination of dried peppers (I recall Jim saying he used dried crushed jalapeno and habanero; you can use any dried pepper or just a good robust blend of (any or all of these) jalapeno, habanero, chipotle, cayenne, Szechuan and/or green peppercorns, a little whole coriander, cumin and fennel seed put through a spice mill or grinder.) I suggested mixing in a little sugar -- brown or granulated then rub that all over the outside of your burger. Grill to your desired doneness. Yummy! Thanks Jim.]]>
